What We Do
We’re Turning a Negative into a Positive
TheBoardroom Africa (TBR Africa) promotes exceptional female talent to boards across the continent. We break down barriers to help organisations realise the benefits of increased diversity on boards by accelerating the placement of female board directors. TBR Africa connects peer-endorsed, board-ready women with CEOs and Board Executives across Africa for access to board and investment committee service.
Board Search with a Gender Agenda
Overwhelming evidence shows that businesses with more women on their boards perform better. We make it simple to find the exceptional women that take companies to the next level. Through our work, we’ve created a unique pool of peer-endorsed female leaders, and we’re working with organisations like development finance institutions, private equity, venture capital funds, and other companies and institutions across Africa to create better gender balance in the region’s boardrooms.
Our pipeline of talent, combined with a uniquely collaborative and objective approach, is driving a fundamental shift in gender balance among leadership teams in businesses across Africa and beyond.
We’ve created programs that help identify promising women and find them a seat at the boardroom table.
The Boardroom Africa
Preparing the Next Generation of Board Leaders
Women remain underrepresented at every level in Africa’s workplaces. Studies show that women still struggle more than men to gain access to their first board seats, which further exacerbates challenges to boardroom diversity. We’ve created programs that help identify leading women and find them a seat at the boardroom table. From our accredited board training programme, “Open Doors”, to the innovative “Sustain” initiative, we do more to train, place and develop women with the goal of making a fundamental impact in ways boards and leadership teams work.
